                                  Title:     Peopling of the Americas:  Who Came First & How Does Oregon Fit In
                                                                     Presenter:    Alison T. Stenger, Ph.D.

Description: 
             We learned in school that the America's were populated by Asians
             who walked over the Bering Land Bridge. Science, however, has
             very strong evidence to the contrary. Who, then, were the very
             first Americans? How did they get here, did they actually come to
             Oregon, and what is the relationship between these early people
             and the megafauna with which they shared the environment?  Alison
             Stenger, is an archaeologist, author, and the Director of
             Research for the Institute for Archaeological Studies in Portland.
